Thoughts on my presentation

I've also created my presentation and have practiced it a couple of times getting comfortable with all the slides as well up to this point. A few revisions to bridge the gap between points has been suggested and revised. This is good as the final presentation will be more put together and coherent then if I had given the presentation right off the bat.

There is a lot of information to sum up in a 15 minute span when the project has taken 4 months to complete and seems almost unfair that all this work is compressed into this tight time frame. I know how movie people probably feel now. Working on something for a year with a multimillion dollar budget and having it last 2 hours.. Oh well at least they get to have their projects immortalized on video or dvd available at christmas and at your local rental shop.

I've also scoped out the room on the advice of Tak which was good because I would not have thought stand in the place I did if I had not done this.

Also the damn remote that was installed has the range of a gnat's ass. Thank god I found this out or I wouldn't have been able to address the audience at the same time as giving my presentation. I want to be INFRONT of my audience not behind them giving them the spiel. A valuable lesson. All this stuff is adding up and hopefully I get to practice one or two more times before my presentation on Wednesday morning. 

I've also been watching a lot of presentation zen and ted.com. These website get me amped to present because the subjects that the speakers talk about are things they are experts at and are truly passionate that makes a difference in this world.  Just like charity giving and receiving information creates to improve our lives though knowledge and for this I'm thankful that I have received so much through this class in terms of exposure to things that I didn't know before. I hope I never get so stale and inflexible as to stop learning and think that I know everything there is to know already.
